Family & Labour Law

Koziakov & Partners provides trusted legal support in employment, immigration, family, inheritance, and private wealth matters – two areas where legal decisions directly affect business stability, personal security, and long-term planning. We combine rigorous legal analysis with practical, solution-oriented advice, always mindful of confidentiality, timelines, and reputational sensitivity.

On the employment and immigration side, we advise domestic and multinational employers on the full lifecycle of workforce management – from drafting employment agreements, internal policies, and compliance documentation to managing sensitive terminations, disciplinary procedures, and workplace disputes. We support HR teams and management in addressing day-to-day labour issues and complex scenarios such as restructuring, transfers, and business closures, helping clients manage risk while maintaining operational continuity. For cross-border teams, we also guide clients through business immigration, including work and residence permits and compliance requirements for expatriate staff.

On the family, inheritance, and private-client side, we represent Ukrainian and international clients in matters where the legal outcome can have profound personal and financial consequences. Our work covers marital and property relations, divorce, child arrangements and support, inheritance disputes, and wealth planning. We also advise on surrogacy and reproductive law, including contracts, parentage issues, and cross-border aspects where families and documentation span multiple jurisdictions.

Where matters involve significant assets or international elements, we integrate expertise from related practices – corporate, tax, real estate, dispute resolution, and regulatory – and coordinate with foreign counsel and experts as needed. We prioritise negotiated solutions and alternative dispute resolution when appropriate, while providing strong representation in court where litigation is unavoidable.
